Musician Vlog / Mia Morris /Ep. 5 “Music City baby!”/ Nashville Drummer, Musician, Songwriter

[@davebeck8973]

Thanks for the update on how it's going with you and the group. When you were born you were a blessing to your parents. When you came on KZbin... you became a blessing to us, your viewers. Have a great weekend. I'm about in Damascus V.A going Mt biking on the Creeper Trail.

[@miamorrismusic]

:) Our family used to bike a bunch together. We'd go on city rides and only trails once or twice a year but it was at least once a week for 10 years. We started on tag-a-longs and would do big organized night rides with hundreds of tricked out lit up bikes and music. That has gone to more like once a month now that my brother is driving but I've got so many fond memories of rides. I got turned on to Primus on rides!!! Ha - that's funny... Have a great ride :)

[@davebeck8973]

Now that sounds like it was/is really cool, what a great family event. The 13 of us had a fantastic time all made it safe. If you have not been on the Creeper Trail in Damascus V.A I highly recommend your family doing this. Trail is in great shape.

[@MichaelJohnsonProductions]

Wow looks like you are getting busier and busier that's amazing. Congratulations.

[@miamorrismusic]

That's certainly how it's been recently. I have to turn work down for the first time. I'm sure that comes and goes... Makes it tough to keep up on stuff I really need to do so I'll have to figure that out. Thanks :)

[@MichaelJohnsonProductions]

You will get it. Just try and manage your time the best and the people you have to turn down. Make sure you get there contact info for a rainy day :) But you will be great

[@almightyantichrist]

All of this music experience with different groups/people is so awesome. What better way for a girl to get her name and talent out there. Mia Morris is in high demand. You rock Mia!

[@miamorrismusic]

Ha! It feels like it this month. I've been warned that it comes and goes... Thanks tho.

[@nathanjasperson]

There’s something special about you that makes you so talented and that is the way you play all those instruments and sing ❤️🎸🎼🎶🎤✌🏻💜

[@miamorrismusic]

That's very kind and thank you but if there's something special, it might just be that I enjoy the work so it's.. less work? :)

[@ValetteRenoux]

I really enjoyed this vlog, allowing your fans and followers to keep up with what you're doing. In addition to your musical talents, you are very well-spoken, even for someone 10 years older than you. Please keep the videos coming!

[@miamorrismusic]

That's quite kind. I'm glad you like seeing this sort of thing. I will keep doing these as long as interesting things keep coming my way :)

[@joegampa8540]

It is a lovely collaboration. You are going straight to the top nothing can stop you.

[@miamorrismusic]

:) That's very kind, I hope I can prove you right..

[@ntesslafan]

It is exciting to see you making progress with your music! I always look forward to your vlog posts and to see what you have done and with whom. Keep it in perspective, listen to your parents. They have your best interest at heart. I am the parent of a 15 year old son who i love so very much. I can imagine how they feel about you and your future. Take it all in and learn from others who have gone before you. Take care, and it is exciting to see you playing the guitar bass too!

[@miamorrismusic]

Thank you for the kind words and advice. My folks are super involved and I plan to keep it that way. I've got a ton to learn on bass but it's probably my 2nd favorite instrument :)

[@roadsoup]

When I was kid, my father took me to the Grand Ole Opry. It was such an amazing place. It must have been incredible to sit up on the stage for the show. Glad you enjoyed it. I still remember it all these years later!

[@miamorrismusic]

It was thrilling, inspiring and educational. I had no idea how professional something like that could be.

[@jcbodean9]

Someday Mia you will be the talent and be doing the picking and choosing. Thanks for another look into your life! Take care Girl.

[@miamorrismusic]

That would be cool someday but I'm happy to watch and learn right now :)

[@donaldsalkovick396]

You go on with your awesome self! You've worked for it and you certainly have the talent and then some....don't forget us when you hit it big! Thanks for sharing your talent

[@miamorrismusic]

That's a very nice comment. I hope I can keep getting closer.

[@donaldmeuse4066]

The power of Nashville. I mentioned that in my remote neck of the woods, long ago, that the guitar players always carried a copy of a music biz mag. There were ads for people who wanted to submit songs for sale. A young woman sold one for about $50. It got picked up and recorded by an artist. Others tried but had no success. The same girl sold a couple more but they didn't get recorded. It helps to be at the centre of your business.

[@markvarbero4302]

What to do ,what you want it's just one more day!!!!! Can't get that song out of my head lol! If it's catchy it's a great song they say. Looks like your rehearsals went well. Congrats on the new gigs your getting and best of luck with the song suffragettes.The 1st video of yours I saw was you playing drums to hot for teacher! Huge fan ever since. Love the covers love the originals! Keep em coming Mia ,you rock!

[@miamorrismusic]

I love the fact that you like the variety. I hope I can keep you around cause I need anyone I can find that likes the originals. That's the thing that can turn into something. Thank you!

Thanks for the update. I was wondering how it was going. Looks like things are good and you're just moving along. I'm finding your entire experience navigating the Nashville/music scene very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm glad to hear this stuff can be worth watching. When all I did was practice by myself, it was easier to work up songs and make covers. It's all new right now and I'm glad some of you find this interesting as well :)

[@miamorrismusic]

Thank you. It has really been busy lately. I know that will come and go and I won't worry too much if it slows down some... I've got a lot I want to be a lot better at.

[@Spider9791]

That's some awesome sauce going on. A while back you said that you hope to be part of the music industry some day, and I said you already are. Look at you go. Awesome sauce.

Aloha Neighbor! Very cool vlog Miss Mia! I'm just so proud and happy for all these great things happening for you. So stoked that I got to see The Song Suffragettes when you played Bass on "Attention". I loved the crowd and Livy's reaction when you kicked it. Awesome!! Please let me know when you have a special something in an upcoming show so I can road trip. You're Da Bombdiggity Neighbor!! 😀🤘💕😎

[@miamorrismusic]

Thanks Ray. I will try to let you know. The catch with the SS's show is I don't decide to do anything, "extra" until Sunday night. I don't even know who's gonna play until Friday most weeks...

[@rayhaynes2021]

[@Sartorri4666]

Awesome highlights, thanks for sharing.

[@miamorrismusic]

Hey Todd - Thanks :)

[@RVREVO]

Learning a lot about how it all works. Music industry is like a machine

[@JohnDoe-np3zk]

Pink Floyd was onto something. Be careful Mia.

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm trying to learn the music and the business. It looks to me like both are important...

[@JohnDoe-np3zk]

Ask a lot of questions, to learn but also because people love to hear themselves talk. In an interview situation, ask probing questions that you either know the answers to or for clarification of just what it is that will be expected of you. Never be afraid to pick up the phone or just show up and go to their office and introduce yourself. I think of the scene in the movie wall street with Charlie Sheen AKA Bud Fox persisting to meet Gordon Gecko. It finally happened, he made a lot of money then went to jail. Ha.

[@nickmoutos8308]

Fantastic Vlog! You know that very, very soon (if it's not already happening) people will be talking and vlogging about that time they met or got to play with the multi-talented Mia Morris! Have a wonderful weekend, looking forward to you next cover, original, vlog!

[@miamorrismusic]

Ha! I'll keep an eye out for that - lol - I really appreciate that you mention all the various work I put on here. I really like being able to do a variety so having folks that appreciate that are a gift :)

[@KaTOKZTV]

You're super cooly talented young one Mia. . . I've been following your posts since I first saw you on KZbin playing drums of course. Keep up your good works and stay humble coz that would be the key to every musician's success on my own perception.

[@miamorrismusic]

Thank you for the comment and I like the advice. Humble it is.

[@KaTOKZTV]

All the best on your carreer. . . cheers!

Shoot Mia, you look like a natural on the stage already. Proud of ya.

[@miamorrismusic]

:) I certainly don't mind being there. I don't really get nervous either. I'm sure I will be in situations where I am. (I could see being nervous if I'm not prepared..) Thanks!

[@johnkeim8377]

Mia Morris Some years back I was kinda interested in being a band mgr., but it didn't work out. That was at the time when Taylor Swift was up and coming as a music artist. I had been talking to one of her publicists and she sent me personal copy Taylor's first album. I never dreamed she would be one the top artists ever at the time. I always thought her first album was the best album. So,I have no doubt you can do the same if not better.

[@rjbrozov]

Glad your enjoying yourself, love the video

Thank you and I'm glad to hear you like the occasional vlog :]

Lots of good things lately, thank you. I'm sure it's like anything and comes and goes but I'm making sure I appreciate it :)

[@davevanvlerah5167]

Hey Mia. Sorry, I haven't abandoned you, just been busy. I respect your humility, and the fact that you are so willing to pay your dues for your shot at the big time, but you are easily as talented as some of those artists and more talented than most of them. It's awesome that you have these opportunities, but don't be afraid to step up and say that you are capable of more. I know that you're young and have a lot to learn about the music industry, but you are a real force, girl. I'm sure that your parents are keeping your progress in check, and that's just good parenting, but run, Mia! Break the chains! Seriously, produce an album. If I'll buy it, so will thousands of others. Once people become aware of you, the sky's the limit, dear. I know that you consider yourself a drummer primarily, but so do Phil Collins and Dave Grohl. You get my point. You'll get there regardless, but I feel that you could take longer strides on your path to success. We'll all be watching anxiously despite how long it takes. You're awesome, woman! Peace

[@miamorrismusic]

That is a motivating comment!! Thanks for your confidence in me and even more thank you for your true support. Sometimes I'm busting to go but I talk about the business and the bigger picture quite a bit with my folks and more often than not, I feel like the smart approach is to try to put off my chances until I'm so prepared that it's really more of a formality. I don't know if that's really a possibility but if I could learn from all these people I play for and have all this experience where it's not me that is getting passed on? Seems like I'm usually the youngest one in the room anyway so maybe now is the time to grind and keep quietly learning and improving. I guess what I'm saying is, I feel like I might get a chance some day and I want to make it an easy decision for whoever gives me that chance.

[@davebeck8973]

Dave Van Vlerah I'm glad you give Mia such great advice as do I. She is young and needs the confidence from all of us that enjoy her. She has such tallent in many areas for only 14yr old. I'm looking foward to the day when what we see, what confidence of advice we all give her can get her there! Just time and the right people. That is nice you care so much also..

[@hopscotch30]

Wow! Really busy! Best of luck!

[@miamorrismusic]

Lately, for sure. It never seems to stay the same but I could use to get writing some more anyway so a minor slow down could be good. Thank you :)

[@miamorrismusic]

Thank you and thanks for good advice :)

[@peterdrums1]

Thank you for sharing these memorable music experiences, Mia. It was cool listening to the drummer "shop talk" about the left handed drummer! You should be that band's drummer, though. :-)

[@miamorrismusic]

Ha! It didn't take long for those comments to appear :) I think Bails wants me up front where I can sing with her. She's got a ton of backup vocals in her stuff. I think the drummer will be fine once he learns the songs...

[@mtrotter325]

You have, and are getting, so much exposure. Do you get the feeling something is about to explode? Congratulations on your success so far.

[@miamorrismusic]

It has been exciting lately but I don't think anything different is coming soon. I've just sort of taken a step forward where a lot of musicians are finding out about me in Nashville. There is so much going on here all the time that I think there will be a lot of work but it will all be at the level I am right now. I think that's where I need to stay for awhile. I've got a lot to learn and I don't think it would help to find myself somewhere I'm not ready for. I've got time and I like what I'm doing - thank you :)

[@miamorrismusic]

:) That would be something.. I'm glad you like the vlogs. It's an interesting time for me right now and I'm just trying to work on the business and connection part along with the music. No doubt I like the music part way better but I'm really seeing that there are a lot of talented people and the connections seem to be a critical piece.

I look forward to the day when I got to the store to buy your albums and I get to say, "Yeah, I remember you when she was just a struggling artist on KZbin! Now look at her!" And I want to play on your first album - I'm really, really good on the triangle!!

[@miamorrismusic]

Nice - I have my triangle studio musician lined up now. Thanks for your encouragement!

[@donaldmeuse4066]

I saw those church pews somewhere before. At the time it just looked like funky junky punky furniture. Now it looks like historic furniture because Mia's been there.. I think it must have been in the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter." I saw that movie 3 or 4 times. I came close to the "Opry" is a speeding car on the closest Interstate.

That was great, where did you go for rehearsal, SIR? Grand Ole Opry is fun I went in early 80's just before Minnie Pearl passed Away she was sick at the time but did get to meet Bill Anderson and Roy Acuff, and also watched from Backstage, glad you are getting more gigs congrats

[@miamorrismusic]

It's a facility that is owned by John & Martina McBride I guess. I think it's called Blackbird academy. It was on the NE side of Nashville. I had no idea what I was about to see at the Opry. That is what professional looks like - now I know.

Great video, immersed in music with wonderful, talented musicians. Maybe you are shaping what the future rock-music-starom is going to be all about, being an excellent all round, well versed musician who understands what it is to work in Support of others whether musically or otherwise. You could become a producer, player, songwriter, educator, mentor, social activist or all of the above. I love seeing you grow into your potential, very exciting. Sky is the limit.

[@miamorrismusic]

Thanks for such a kind comment. I like the sound of just about all of those options :) My folks are big on me exploring as many options in music as I can so I might actually have a chance to stay in this business somehow. I love to play..

[@carlbutler2212]

Nashville is so peaceful compared to the hustle and bustle of the major cities in the united states but mia certainly deserves all the rich splendor that hollywood has to offer.. I also appreciate the departure into the country bluegrass style of music that the suffragettes are experimenting with!!

[@miamorrismusic]

I got to play with some older studio players last week on a show for an artist names Laura. I was really glad I was in Nashville that night. It was a dobro, upright bass, acoustic and cajon and it was really, really satisfying to be a part of.

[@ajadrew]

Gorgeous looking bass at 5:30 ish...Tell me all about it pleas...;-)) And talking of upside down & back to front, Jimmy Haslip plays a 6 string RH bass left handed with the big fat string at the bottom & the little skinny one at the top. Confuses my brain yet he's one of the finest! If you get a moment, google 'Postcards' by Yellowjackets. A beautiful bass solo. One of m 'lessons' back in the '80's was to learn it. And I did... Glad you're doing all this stuff..;-))

[@miamorrismusic]

That bass is my first really nice bass. It's an Ibanez SR 1300. That is really wild! Wow. Nobody will ask to sit in when he's on the gig :) Thank you for taking the time.

[@jrizzuti]

Hi Mia. You look and sound awesome Totally in control. I have nothing funny or silly to post this week as I'm at my college wrestling team reunion. But I did listen to 8 straight hours of Sirius XM channel 18 The Beatles. I am the eggman. You are the Walrus. And the Walrus was Paul. There's another clue for you all.

[@miamorrismusic]

That station gets around 30% of all my road trip attention. It's always a great option. "I could be the Walrus. It still wouldn't change the fact that I have to bum rides to school." I love that movie and it's a true statement for me :)

[@jrizzuti]

Your adroit cleverness will be challenged in the next vlog by a veritable field of dreams. :) :): :)

I am not a big fan of the Song Suffragettes but I was able to "suffer" thru it ha ha. News flash suffragettes, women can vote in public elections now ha ha. Nice work Mia. I hope I can see you sometime in my hometown.

[@miamorrismusic]

I don't listen to much of this type of music except when I'm playing for these guys but meeting all of these artists and writers as they come through Nashville has been a huge deal for me so far. Coming up with parts on the fly to songs I've never heard before, in front of a big crowd... then going to middle school the next morning..! I'm gonna learn a lot along the way about song structure, performing.. Anyway, I'm clearly rambling.. and tired. I hope I play in your hometown as well :) And it will be louder than a show with the SS's - I promise :) - Goodnight.

[@davidjames1684]

Yes that would make me very nervous too not knowing the songs ahead of time. You are for sure getting good experience and building your confidence. As far as song structure, my recommendation is to have a clear bridge section that has a high contrast from the chorus (possibly both in rhythm and even key), and for each different chorus, change it up a little like add something each time you go back to it to build it up, for example, in your great song Something There, add a tambourine for the last chorus. You are doing quite well for your age so keep going. I am a fan.

shout out to supportive parents

[@miamorrismusic]

YES

[@DamianS1893]

Get r Done Mia 😁

[@RP_Williams]

Holy Gigs McGigason! Great job, kid...you're definitely in the right city for pursuing a music career. Here in Vancouver, the live music scene is kinda crap.

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm discovering more and more of just how much music is happening in some aspect, all the time in this town. Thanks for taking the time :)

[@johnspicks2636]

I have no doubt you'll be playing a sold out show or two at the grand ole Opry, sooner than you might expect.

[@miamorrismusic]

:) ha - if you say so!

[@davebeck8973]

Ok, after looking once again at female drummers and seeing none of them were interesting to watch, not that they were not good! I ask myself this question, what is it YOU and SINA do that separates you from others? The obvious comments have said alot of truth many times, then it came to me, no one else seen it. YOU and SINA know how to bring the drums to LIFE wow soo hypnotic, fascinating, interesting. No others possesse that interest. One with the drums! I read the comments and responses and Im going to have to say on behalf of your best...Don't ever give up the drums. We're not going to give up on you. I'm going to be on the side line cheering you on ! Have a great time tonight... You work hard at what you do and the results are showing. I'm looking foward to Friday. What, another pizza...ha ha ha.

[@miamorrismusic]

:) You're a good guy. I will try to prove you guys right, ...and yes, I guarantee pizza is in the near future.

[@ironlurker]

Looks like many amazing things are happening for you, Mia. So...when you going to talk to your Dad about homeschooling and doing this full time? lol.

[@miamorrismusic]

None of us seem to want that.. I would totally go for a half day starting next year but I would miss my friends even if it is during social studies. I'm really not sure they allow that sort of thing in TN public schools.

[@ironlurker]

It was more of a joke, if anything, heh. Enjoy this phase - you still have your whole life ahead of you. =)

[@daniellovelace5036]

Mia did you see the original part of the stage? I think it's in a circle. A whole lot of famous people have stood on that part of the stage. They rebuilt the stage but keep that circle for the history part of it. I knew you would make it, you are doing great. Wish I could buy ya a frosty on me. Oh well you take care. =^•^=. P.S. Post us a picture of you standing on that part of the stage.

[@miamorrismusic]

I was told about the circle but that part of the stage is in front of the curtain when it's down between acts. That picture is going to have to wait until I'm part of the show... :)

[@chrisjenkins8207]

Check out Carter Beauford!! Hes an amazing drummer!!

[@miamorrismusic]

Love him. DM has been on the list just never my final choice yet. He's really a pain in the butt about playing any sort of repeating kick pattern which is a problem for someone like me that likes the idea of getting the parts really tight... He just jams along. Which is awesome, just tough to memorize.

[@chrisjenkins8207]

Awesome! If you havent already check out Danny Carey and Steven Perkins!! Also great drummers. Take care and good luck!

[@keithjerauld1607]

It's time to start satisfing your fans we are ready four you time to blossom mia

[@miamorrismusic]

:) I'm working at it. The business part of music will probably take a lot longer than we'd like but I'm just going to work on the things I can control.

[@williamgreenway8958]

Opening doors and new opportunities are waiting !

[@miamorrismusic]

:) I hope that's true..

[@donaldmeuse4066]

I think the light has a strange effect on your eyes. Maybe it's an effect of your sweater and the camera lens. The colour of your baby blues keeps switching back and forth from blue to the green richness of a new mown lawn!

[@davebeck8973]

Hey Mia, Just seen something I know you'll get a kick out of since you did this song. It's a robotic dog dancing to Bruno Mars "Up Town Funk" it's cool and funny! You can google it, just shown today.

[@miamorrismusic]

impossible not to giggle... thank you. I like when he twerks and looks back over his shoulder.

[@JohnMitchell-xs7eo]

Hi! You posted a new video on my birthday! I’ll consider that a bday present from you. Can I get a Happy Birthday!?

[@miamorrismusic]

Of course. Happy birthday 2U, Happy birthday 2U, Happy birthday dear John.... Happy birthday to you!

[@hazeleyesohhhryyyon2031]

U need to tour on your own..your slumming w these other artists..but I guess you got to pay your dues.. love u

[@JohnDoe-np3zk]

Ohh Ryonn give her at least until 16 so she can start driving.

[@miamorrismusic]

:) Every once & awhile I feel like that. But 90% of the time, these people are teaching me things I might not learn for 10 years. I think it's the thing to do for now. - Thanks tho!

[@samuelbrown9363]

Interesting vlog! It's very cool to see your fellow musicians compliment you! That says a lot 👍 (I'm tyman7374 on IG btw...you already replied back to me over there 🙂)

[@miamorrismusic]

It's a cool spot for me at this gig. All of the girls are supportive of each other but they are also trying to distinguish themselves. My job is to try to make them each sound better which is something new and different for them. It's quite rewarding.

[@brendapascale786]

You are so cut! . 🍨 Sweet young lady! .

[@miamorrismusic]

:) Thank you Brenda.

[@timb6985]

Impostor!? No way could Mia travel this far/long in a music/travel vlog without stopping for FOOD/SNACK!! :) (PS: Your career is exploding!)

[@miamorrismusic]

HAHAAH! - That made me laugh :) It's true.. (the food part). I'm still working on the career part :]

[@jesielzy7675]

Ola tudo bom????

[@miamorrismusic]

Portuguese - cool! I'm good :) I hope you are as well.

[@ooinvsaoo]

oh hun, no need to hope, youll be at the grand ole opry, soon enough..

[@miamorrismusic]

:) Thanks - I'll try to make you right.
